Disconnection agraphia in a case of multiple sclerosis: the isolation of letter movement plans from language.

abstract：:In a dual task experiment, subjects were instructed to perform a single finger tapping task whilst either, concurrently memorizing words appearing randomly on a screen in front of them, or concurrently memorizing the positions of the words. Analysis of percentage change scores revealed a significant tapping hand by ta...

abstract：:It has been proposed that the underlying deficit for some simultanagnosics is the inability to bilaterally orient attention in space due to parietal damage. In five experiments, we examine the performance of a patient with simultanagnosia secondary to bilateral occipito-parietal lesions, IC, in naming pairs of line-dr...

abstract：:Reward-predicting stimuli can induce maladaptive behavior by provoking action tendencies that conflict with long-term goals. Earlier, we showed that when human participants were permitted to respond for a reward in the presence of a task-irrelevant, reward-predicting stimulus (i.e. goCS+ trials), the CS+ provoked an a...
